Montrail Men's Couloir

rated 4.0 of 5 stars

The Men's Couloir has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best mountaineering boots for 2024.

Overall
Great boot with a solid feel that gives confidence in an array of situations. I have used them on mountaineering trips as well as rock scrabbles up to a 5.8 rating. They take a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of them they will be your friend for life.

Fit
I wear a size 13 and they were true to fit. They have a wide birth at the toe and a semi secure heel. I do get blisters still to this day after long periods of separation from them, but that's standard for any full shank boot that I have ever worn.

Weight
It's a full shank, full leather upper with a bomb proof sole. You are looking at 2 lbs per boot - don't buy these for thru hikes.

Stability
I have very little ankle roll in these bad boys and have hauled packs in excess of 65lbs with little stress.

Durability
I have noticed some wear and tear to the toe box region over time, especially during crampon season which provokes concerned.

Warmth & Waterproof
If you are climbing in snow, wear gaiters. If you are at higher altitudes get a pair of down over boots.

Crampon Compatible
Just about any pair of strap on's will work.
